| Hi Gear people,
Is recording equipment over priced
CD's were £16 now they are £5 and sound much better.
I don't agree. Because of the low cost of digital recording equipment (i.e. softwares) more and more musicians are now "producers" and "sound recording engineers" and "mix engineers".
Great for creativity and putting loads of CD's (music) on the internet and in stores...but......does it sound much better ???
Nope.... But great for You Tube on a laptop.
I still listen to Miles Davies recorded in 1958 in NYC with great Neumann microphones and it sounds much better than the lattest jazz indie album I bought last week...which was recorded in a cottage with software plug-ins and low-cost microphones...
Rock/pop music is the same....a lot of crap out there...So YES in terms of audio gear, you pay for what you get....Like food, A Big Mac is a Big Mac. A microwave oven in your home (studio) kitcheen will never equal a 5 star restaurant with real "tools" to cook..
Cheers
